it's not like you guys have anything remotely resembling a mandate. It's quite possible that when all is said and done Trump will have lost the popular vote by over 2%.
I can't help but wonder what conservatives would be saying if the situation was reversed and it was Democrats who, in over a generation, had only initially won the White House each time despite a plurality of the country voting against them? There arguably hasn't been a true conservative mandate in a long time, and unlikely to be one in an equally longer amount of time.

In regards to the other comment - while I accepted it a while ago, I definitely do not fault others for looking for any chance to keep a sexual predator conman out of the White House.
The GOP is in its strongest position since the 1920's. We now control the White House, both houses of Congress, and a solid majority of governorships and state legislatures. Only 4 states have total democratic control of both houses of the legislature and the governorship. During Obama's presidency, the democrats lost 13 Senate seats, 69 House seats, 12 governorships, and 900+ state legislature seats.
Who cares about the popular vote. We are a constitutional republic where the winner of the presidency is decided by the electoral votes. Given how cohesive and unified the GOP is, Trump will have enormous power to undo the harmful Obama legacy and put us back on the right path.
